Dreams and Reality- Aqua's Version by Tammy (e reader pdf best .TXT) 📕

end of the day, and I got to get on the bus, there was no way Jake could make up an excuse not to talk to me, only two of my friends were riding in the afternoon, and I told them I needed time to think, not that they would obey that.
I sat down in the bus, and when Jake got on he waved, but still sat by Rye and Elle. What is this? Every guy Aqua wants to talk to ignore her day? Fine I’ll talk to Sapphire and Brooke.
I just talked to them about the new perfumes we had bought, and then we exchanged ones that we didn’t have. Then I heard Rye tell Jake something about not talking to Elle.
“What about me?” I asked not meaning to say it aloud; I also meant it for Jake.
“Don’t talk to her either. In fact,” he said as he got up, “Nobody talk to Elle or Aqua.” He said it menacingly. Even the bus driver only looked at him. Whatever, I can talk to whoever I want to.
“Hey Aqua, I see Elle’s bodyguard is upset with the both of you.” Sapphire said, giving Elle an ugly smile.
“I said not to talk to them.” Rye said, butting in with some stupid threatening tone to his voice.
“Rye, I’m not scared of you, and besides you’re too much of a gentleman to hurt me.” She said it like a fact, and shaking her head.
“He’s being stupid.” Elle suddenly interjected. Great. Here we go again.
“Oh, Elle I’m not talking to you.” She said just like when she told Rye off. Good for her, and as much as I hated to admit I felt bad because I knew that she was probably going to lose.
“Why? I mean you can’t be mad still.” Elle said, yes she could. Why did she open herself for insults?
“I am still mad, and just like then I hate you.” She said like Elle was stupid, I mean she knew and now Sapphire was the one opening her own self for insults. What an idiot.
“Well, since we’re being straight forward, I hate you to. You need to grow up, and get over something that happened like two years ago.” Elle said, anger rising to her surface. Rye scooted close to her.
“Well at least your pet is loyal.” She said in disgust. Why couldn’t she just shut up? Now Elle is going to explode, and I have to deal with it. This is so not fair.
“Shut up, you don’t know anything! Hate me if you want, but don’t bring Rye into it because unlike him, I will hurt you!” That did it, Sapphire backed down. Good for her, she learnt that Elle doesn’t care what she does to her. But I’m still peeved for Elle not just ignoring her like she should have. I mean why should it bug her, it doesn’t bug her when others talk about her.
“It’s your stop.” Rye said handing her stuff to her.
“Thank you.” She said as she took it. Then she shoved past me, and practically ran off the bus. What the heck? What was that, I didn’t even do anything, little jerk. She also overreacted to Sapphire, which is going to be annoying for me and I know it.
Chapter 3: Dealing
“What the heck was that?!” I shouted at her when I came inside, throwing down my stuff down beside hers. “Don’t you think you overreacted a little bit?” I said slightly calmer now that I yelled a bit.
“No, I couldn’t have been calmer because, just because I couldn’t have been. I mean she gets under my skin, and just irritates me. She needs to let it go.” She said calmly, most likely her anger had fled once she got home.
“You broke her heart Elle.” I whispered, it was a touchy subject for her. She should know this; she won’t get over it easy. “She’s not going to forgive you so easily, and you reacted too much. I mean you barely know Rye. Do you already like him?” I asked, curious but distant. If they already like each other, I need to back off; Elle needs a boyfriend, besides I already have one. Why didn’t Jake and I click like that? Plus, why didn’t my personality attract him already? It attracts every guy I meet.
“I thought you weren’t supposed to be talking to me.” She said calmly, she obviously didn’t want to talk about it.
“Right.” I said, biting my lip, she went to her room. After a second I decided to put on some music and use my mom’s desk for homework (also known as texting the girls.)
What r u doing this weekend? I texted Brooke.
Nothing. You want to practice cheers? She responded.
Idk depends, if I don’t make plans. G2g see u later ttfn. I told her, my weekends are always full so I wasn’t sure if I would get better plans later. I got bored quickly, none of the girls were doing anything so I went to talk to Elle, like it or not she was talking to me. Then my mom called, completely distracting me.
“Hey Aqua, listen I’m working late tonight. Can you guys handle dinner tonight?” she asked rushing. Nice mom, calling to tell me on break, nice to see how the order of importance comes in this house, can’t wait to get out.
“Of course mom. Good luck with what you’re doing.” I reassured her. Cheery like always and I won’t have to deal with her much longer.
“Thanks. Bye.” She said quickly before hanging up. Why does she even check anymore? Then I went to tell Elle that we had to cook dinner, or she did, I couldn’t cook unless it was out of a box, a vegetable, or just really easy. I knocked lightly on her door, noticing a bruise forming on my arm from where she shoved my earlier. I heard her turn down the music, and then she opened the door.
“Yes?” she asked.
“We have to make dinner; mom’s getting home late today.” I told her quietly, I didn’t really want to talk to her, my arm was already bruising, and I didn’t want another.
“Ok, and I’m sorry about your arm, I didn’t mean to do that.” She apologized, I smiled, but distant sometimes I wondered how many times I had to be apologized to for stuff like this from her.
“It’s ok. So what do you want to make?” I asked, changing the subject, I didn’t want to talk about her outburst.
“Roast beef, mashed potatoes, and corn?” She asked, making sure I was ok with what we were having, I could be picky sometimes, but today these were some of my favorites so I didn’t mind. Besides, it was non-beef roast beef for me so I could still eat it, I was a vegetarian.
“Yeah, that sounds good.” She cooked the meat, peeled the potatoes and boiled them. She had me mash the potatoes, and microwave the corn. I was happy that I could mash them this time. She set the table, and I served the food. “This is pretty good.” I said.
“Yeah, it’s pretty good.” She agreed. I just walked to the living room when I was finished I had new moves to learn for the step team. After that I taped my newest beauty tutorial for my YouTube account. I got hundreds of thousands of views per video. I was always getting free stuff from the company’s to try out because of all the viewers. I was a popular beauty guru, and I may possibly get to be in Seventeen magazines soon from it, though that isn’t what I wanted to be in it for, I wanted to be in it for singing, it was my passion. Then I called Jake.
“Hey, Aqua.” Jake said in that cute voice of his, he had caller ID so he already knew it was me calling.
“Hey. What’s up?” I asked.
“I’m babysitting. Hey I’ll call you later, ok? Bye.” He said before hanging up. Well that was short, that’s fine I could play that game to. Then I saw Elle race past me.
“Where are you going?” I asked, as she put on her flats.
“Coffee shop, tell mom for me.” She said, opening the door. I wondered; it was karaoke night.
“Wait, are you going to sing?” I asked, still puzzled as to why she was in such a hurry.
“No, why?” She asked closing the door.
“Well because tonight is karaoke. If you sing they give you a free coffee. Could you get me one, I’ll pay you back.” I asked, it was no big deal, I had her get me coffee all the time.
“Sure, but no I don’t plan on singing. I do plan on making Rye sing though.” She said with a huge smile.
“Sounds fun, can I come?” I asked, always seeking an opportunity for some sort of social activity.
“Actually, that’s probably not such a good idea, because, you know.” She said half frowning, and looking down. Oh, I get it, it’s a date. How cute, I’ll let her go alone, besides who wants to be a third wheel?
“It’s ok, I know when I’m not welcome, but seriously, bring my regular coffee, and we’ll talk later.” She thought she was getting out of talking about it, ha-ha. But she seriously better bring my cappuccino home for me.
Chapter 4: Plans for the weekend
Just a few minutes after she left, my mom came home.
“Where is Elle?” She asked, looking around for her.
“She is at the coffee shop, she has a little date. Don’t worry though, I’ve met him and he is really good to her, besides she’ll most likely bring him home to meet you, you know how she is about that.” I reassured her.
“Oh, good, I’ll be in my office doing some editing on my charts.” She said, walking to her office. I walked up to my room, and then my cell rang.
“Hello?” I said, kind of asking I didn’t know who it was; my caller ID said unknown.
“Hey, it’s Rob.” I heard the guy say, it was the former star quarter back of the football team (that is before he ditched it for basketball), I wondered why he was calling me, I barely knew him.
“Hey, so what are you calling for?” I asked.
“I was wondering what you were doing this weekend, and if you wanted to come to the movies with me?” He asked, the first of the year. Guys were always asking me out, at least once a week, so it wasn’t a shock that he did.
“Sorry, but I don’t know if I have plans, besides I’m dating Jake right now.” I said a slight attitude in my voice. I liked to be a heart-breaker sometimes; it was fun, besides that made the guys like me that much more, to know they couldn’t have me.
“Oh, okay, that’s fine.” He said a bit hurt, then I hung up, it was best to be as untouchable as possible, sometimes my love life was Miley Cyrus’ I Can’t Be Tamed. Then I practiced music for drama, we were doing Glee, an area of my expertise. Then I heard Elle get home, so I went down stairs to greet her, so did my mom, pretending to be busy in the living room.
“Mom, she told me they were going to study after, so don’t be mad at her for being late okay? Besides she texted me and said that she might be late, and to tell you.” I said, knowing she would be happy at her responsibility and let it slide.
“Ok, but I’m still meeting this boy.” She said, being
